,Course overview / exam preparation
Recall backbone of course
I. General (10/15 pts)
II. Market distribution (40 pts)
III. International Location Decisions (25/20 pts)
so maximally 75 pts for final exam
Please recall:
• In most classes learning objectives have been provided
• Meant to guide you through compulsory materials
• Final exam: just mentioning terms and concepts from slides is far from sufficient
Part I: General
• Bowersox Ch. 1, 3
• Fujita and Porter paper
Always start from Learning Objectives as provided in class
Example: Clustering and agglomeration
• Do you know Dutch examples?
• How can they theoretically be explained?
• Do they contradict globalization?
Part II: Market Distribution
• Bowersox:
– Ch. 4, 8, 9, 11
– use learning objectives provided by teacher
– check sample exam questions provided by teams
• Related papers, for example, Callioni and Tang & Tomlin (guest lecture Joost Rongen),
Chopra, Rouwenhorst, Joubioux
– check sample exam questions provided by teams
Market Distribution: the start
There are multiple trade-offs between these areas.
• Can you explain?
• Do you know illustrative examples

, Looking back
Lectures on (always start from Learning Objectives)
• Customer service (Ch.4)
• Inventory (Callioni), Supply chain risks (Tang&Tomlin)
• Transportation, last-mile logistics, omni-channels (Ch.8, Bell, Hubner et al., Verstrepen et al.)
• Network design (Ch.11, Chopra)
• Warehousing (Ch. 9, Rouwenhorst)
Teamwork (check sample exam questions):
• Warehousing (Rouwenhorst)
• Packaging (Ch.9)
• Retail logistics and omni channel (Hubner et al., Bell)
• Inventory (Callioni), Supply chain risks (Tang&Tomlin)
Part III: International Location Decisions
Lectures
• DuBois et al. (1993)
• Vereecke et al. (2002) and Meijboom &Vos (2004)
• Joubioux et al. (2016)
International Location Decisions: evolution of thought
• More than low costs … product life-cycle … location factors …
• Location motives … strategic role of factory
• Right-shoring ?!
Food for thought …
In recent years high-tech industries appear to increasingly re-shore manufacturing activities, so from
abroad to their home country. The Corona crisis all over the world might further enhance this
tendency.
To what extent does this contradict earlier literature on international plant networks, such as Du Bois
et al. (1993), Vereecke and Van Dierdonck (2002) or Meijboom and Vos (2004)?
